Chimes Committee
The Chimes Committee is a group of volunteers who maintain the system that causes the chimes to regularly ring throughout the day from the church tower. This system, manufactured by the Deagan Company and installed in 1935, is one of only a small number left in North America, giving volunteers an opportunity to work on technology from another time, a task requiring patience, creativity, and "out-of-the-box" thinking as parts and documentation are no longer readily available. One should be comfortable climbing ladders and working at heights. A knowledge of electro-mechanical systems is helpful, but not necessary. Young people with an interest in mechanical or electrical systems currently volunteer and more are encouraged. All members will attest to the unique reward that comes from keeping technology of this vintage in working order while serving God and the Church at the same time.
